It all depends on their height weight and natural strength but when starting it is usually best to go with light weight and high reps.
When they are 15 years old and can confidently use the correct technique.
All of the above exercises are ideal for a child who is looking to develop his/her strength in regard to sports or other physical activities. Strictly speaking there are no age limitations for youth strength training. I would suggest that once your child is able to participate in organised sports such as football etc, then they should be able to begin lifting. (If your child can follow instructions and is mature enough to know that weight lifting can be dangerous.) Make sure to emphasise proper technique and slow range of movement, rather than the weight of the bar. This will help to reduce the risk of overusage injuries. Oh and to answer your initial question about the child's growth being stunted. There are no known cases of strength training causing a child's growth to be stunted. As long as you steer clear of performance enhancing drugs.
130 pound weights would weigh more than a child weighing 130 pounds dead weight because the weights are objects with a fixed weight regardless of being lifted, whereas the weight of a child can fluctuate depending on factors like movement or position.
Depends on how young the child is.
I asked my son pediatrician this question and he told me that this is a myth. Weight lifting is not different than other kind of sports. It is important to adjust the weights and the exercise-tools to the size of the child/teen to prevent injuries.
no complete opposite actually so my answer NO WAY :):):):):):)
A child who is around 8 years old would weigh 50 pounds. The weight depends on the gender of the child and their height.
Weight lifting is not illegal, but the most weight ever lifted was by Louis Cyr. He lifted 4,175lbs onto his back.
Because of the skeletal immaturity of a 13-year-old, it is not advisable that they train with weights. My recommendation is to play regular sports to develop all-around fitness, plus coordination, and wait until age sixteen (or fifteen at least).
That depends- if you are eating protein and keeping healthy then your muscles will grow. But muscles being heavier than fat, its actually possible for an overweight person to get smaller yet gain weight. Of course it all depends on how much you work out too. And if a child gets too much exercise or does too much weight-bearing, it can actually stunt growth - growth plates in the bones are not made for constant heavy exertion and will be damaged, causing pain and also taking some amount off the height the child would have been as an adult. But in an average situation with a healthy adult who is trying to get muscular instead of lose weight, weight lifting will add bulk to your body's frame.
There is no particular weight that a 9-year-old child should weigh. Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. For information about weight in relation to height, and to see the distribution of weights and heights of children at various stages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
